I have had to rename all of the override MP’s in a deployment to standardise the naming convention. All you have to do is export all of your unsealed override packs and edit the MP directly in XML. Remember you only rename the Display name in the Operations Console and you cannot modify the Element ID

You can edit the XML in notepad or Download XML Notepad 2007 Link Here

For this post I have just used notepad.

So the key items to change are <Name> , <ID> & <LanguagePack Details ElementID= and <Name>

The Original Override MP Element ID name was: Override.GroupPolicy.xml

And the old display name was: Override GroupPolicy

The New Element ID name will be: CUSTOM.Microsoft.Windows.Server.GroupPolicy.2003

and the New Display name will be:CUSTOM.Microsoft.Windows.Server.GroupPolicy.2003

I have highlighted the changes made in the XML of the Group Policy Override Management Pack as an example.

Note: Also note that once you have made and saved the changes you must make sure the MP filename is the same as the Element ID name so the filename for this pack will be CUSTOM.Microsoft.Windows.Server.GroupPolicy.2003.xml
